Persian food

For lunch, I had Baghali Polo at zaytoon. The rice was very dry. There was butter wrapped in foil on the side, but I didnt use it. I know that could have made the rice palatable. The chicken was fine. Very yellow. To eat the pita, the grease transferred from the kabab which lied on the pita for a while was enough to smooth it down. There was a grilled tomato, but didnt give it much shot.
I liked the sound of zoolbia bamieh. I am familiar with zoolbia- jalebi.
There was tiger shrimp too on the menu.
Before lunch, we were wondering how different is Persian food from Mediterranean and loaded up on some wiki knowledge.
